Philadelphia Flyers News
The Ducks have added Trevor Zegras to the COVID-19 protocol list.
According to the Ducks, Zegras is asymptomatic but he will likely miss all three games this week and may not be back until the middle of next week.
The Flyers added Sean Couturier to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday (Dec.26).
Couturier was the only active player added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday but three more players joined him on Monday. The Flyers could get Kevin Hayes and Morgan Frost back ahead of Wednesday's game in Seattle, which would obviously help offset the loss of their No.1 centre.
The Panthers placed Owen Tippett on the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday.
The Panthers placed four new players in COVID-19 protocol on Sunday, the same day that they activated eight players from the list. With Tippett likely out until the middle of next week, Ryan Lomberg moved up into the top-9 in Monday's practice.
Simmonds was placed in COVID-19 protocol on Friday.
Simmonds and Jason Spezza were the latest to be added to the COVID-19 protocol list, joining Alexander Kerfoot and John Tavares. Tonight they are scheduled to play in Vancouver, where the Canucks are currently missing five players due to protocol.

Dvorak suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Lightning last Monday and will miss an extended period of time. The Canadiens announced that Dvorak is out indefinitely and will be monitored and evaluated daily.
The Canucks have recalled Noah Juulsen from Abbotsford (AHL).
Juulsen has scored one goal in 17 AHL games this season and could be set to make his Canucks debut on Friday. Juulsen will replace Travis Hamonic (lower-body) on the roster and will play if Oliver Ekman-Larsson remains sidelined.
The Flyers have recalled Jackson Cates from Lehigh Valley (AHL).
Cates has scored two goals with three assists (five points) in 18 AHL games this season. The 24-year-old made four NHL appearances last year and could make his season debut on Friday or Saturday.
